Reed Rage fitzhead 2012
Fantastic playing from Reed Rage in Fitzhead on Saturday.
House Bites
A friend has joined www.housebites.com. It’s where you order takeway food from home cooks. People cook food for you in their home kitchens. Housebites provide the online menu, taking the order and the money, and the delivery. It’s all very ‘social’ so you get feedback, ratings, twitter and so on. Cuban anyone?
Cold start
Thats the time and temperature in our bedroom. Bit of a cold start this morning! No heating in my place – not normally needed, but this is the chilliest its been for a long time.
Battersea Bridge
Ball
Had a lovely night on Saturday at the Battersea. Police Ball.
Great night. And they even played old fashioned (i.e. 20th Century) music. Which was nice.
Ice Skating
Streatham Ice Rink has a faded look to it, but despite that it’s thriving. There has been an ice rink in Streatham (South London, UK) since 1931 but this came under threat this year with massive redevelopment plans. Thanks to the tireless campaigning of local people, this part of South London will continue to have an ice rink both during and after the redevelopment.
A temporary rink is due to be built on Pope’s Road, Brixton for two and a half years and then towards the end of 2013, a new permanent rink will open.
There will be a Closing Gala at Streatham on Sunday 18th December 2011 starting at 4pm with a Gala performance from 4 to 6pm followed by a party on the ice until 8pm. Tickets will be £7.50 to include the Gala, the skate afterwards and skate hire if required. For more details see Gala Poster.
Please come along to watch, skate or both. It is a chance to celebrate the long life of the much-loved 1931 building and mark the end of one era and the start of the next.
This will be the last day of operation of the rink. The temporary rink will be open on Monday 19th December.
Rubber Band Fun
An interesting construction in Battersea Park yesterday. Some kind of Art thing, but built only from bamboo and elastic bands.
It’s a dry run for a much bigger construction this time next year, during the Olympic Games.
Guess who we bumped into
..on the way to the tip…
Canoeing to the pub
There can hardly be a more pleasant way to earn your pint than this. As long as you time it right, the tide will gently push you up river, you then disembark, sup a refreshing pint or two of EPA during slackwater, then allow the outgoing tide to help float back to Kew bridge.
Thank you James.
